Li et al. [1]} introduces the development of microbial analysis based on DIP and amounts of methods used for microorganism classification are summarized. In this survey,
the microorganisms are grouped based on their application domains, including Agricultural Microorganisms (AMs), Food Microorganisms (FMs), Environmental Microorganisms (EMs), Industrial Microorganisms (IMs),
Medical Microorganisms (MMs), Water-borne Microorganisms (WMs) and Scientific Microorganisms (SMs).
They analyse the properties of the methods below and the practical conditions of the microorganism
classification tasks jointly, the methods include image preprocessing methods such as image segmentation,
feature extraction methods, post-processing methods, feature fusion methods and classification methods. More than 60 related papers are summarized to illustrate different microbial classification methods.
This review is a comprehensive microorganism classification paper and uses plenty of literatures for quoting, but there is no significant description for microorganism counting or biovolume measurement.
